Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss-Chapter 20 - 18: He Was Really That Outrageous With This Woman?
She stared into the mirror.
She realized the flower was the same one she had seen in her sea of consciousness.
It finally dawned on her, and she spoke. "This is my Spirit Root?"
"But why is it growing out of the top of my head?" she said, pointing to the flower on her head. She turned to Javier Sinclair to ask, "What’s going on? Have you ever seen anything like this?"
In all her time in this world, she had never heard of anyone’s Spirit Root growing out of their head. The fact that she could reach up and touch it was just ridiculous!
Javier Sinclair’s gaze shifted to the top of her head.
"I haven’t. It might be some kind of Mutated Spirit Root."
His eyes swept over her as he reminded her, "You’ve completed Energy Introduction. You’re in the Qi Refinement Realm now."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Celeste Grant froze.
"Ah... Me?"
Her eyes widened in delayed realization.
"Energy Introduction... I’ve entered the Qi Refinement Realm? I can cultivate? For real?" As she spoke, her voice involuntarily rose a few pitches.
She looked down at herself.
Calming her mind, she finally noticed that her body was brimming with Spiritual Energy, making her feel refreshed and clear-headed. She could even see a faint aura of Spiritual Energy swirling around her.
"Let me try."
She raised her hand and, following the method she had learned from her parents long ago, began to gather Spiritual Power. She could feel a force inside her that she could command at will.
At that moment, a pool of water gathered in her palm. The water could change into various shapes according to her thoughts.
Little animals, plants, bowls, and chopsticks... then, at her will, it transformed into a Water Arrow.
’I wonder if it’s got any attack power.’
’Let’s see.’
With a wave of her hand, the Water Arrow she had formed shot through the air and pierced straight through a decorative rockery not far away, leaving a hole behind.
Witnessing this, Celeste Grant couldn’t stop a curse from slipping out.
"Holy shit!"
"Did I do that?"
’I’m this powerful already.’
Celeste Grant picked up the mirror again, looking at the little red flower perched atop her head. In the mirror, her Spirit Root was entwined with Water Element Spiritual Power, looking full of life.
’But a flower blooming on my head just looks so ridiculous. I’m already pregnant with this big belly, and now I have a flower on my head. I look like a flower planted in a round pot.’
’Whatever.’
’It’s not important. I’ve completed Energy Introduction and started my Cultivation. I’m a female cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm now. If a flower wants to bloom on my head, so be it. I’ll just have to make sure no one sees it in the future.’
Celeste Grant continued to study the flower on her head, touching it gently. It was indeed a part of her.
Before this, not even Celeste Grant herself could have imagined that her Spirit Root would look like this.
A flower.
’How strange.’
’Wait... something isn’t right.’
Celeste Grant finally remembered that in the book, the villainess awakens an Ice Element Spiritual Root. What kind of Spirit Root had she awakened? Water Element or Wood Element?
’It’s different?’
’My Spirit Root is different from the one the villainess in the book awakened. Maybe it’s because my experiences have been different, or maybe it’s because I’m not the real villainess, so my awakened Spirit Root is different.’
’The villainess in the book awakened her Spirit Root after giving birth and had never eaten a heavenly treasure like the Blood Litchi. I ate one, so I awakened my Spirit Root early.’
HAHAHA.
’No matter what, this is something to be happy about.’
’So, a predetermined fate can be broken after all.’
Joy filled her heart.
It was indescribable.
’Other people who transmigrate into books get systems or all sorts of cheats. I’ve been in this book for years, and forget cheats, I didn’t even have a Spirit Root! I was supposed to be thrown to the Evil Cultivators by the female lead. Thank goodness I met the man in front of me instead.’
Now, she could finally cultivate!
She stepped forward and reached out.
She threw her arms around the man standing before her.
"I can cultivate... This is great news, great news! I feel like singing ’Good Luck Has Arrived’! The Exalted One, *sob*, I’m so, so grateful to you. Bro, big bro, you’re like my own brother."
"Thank you."
Javier Sinclair’s face was cold.
He looked at the woman brazenly hugging him.
’How improper.’
’What’s this about "bro" and "my own brother"?’
"So, in the future, my son will have to call me ’uncle’?"
A cold voice sounded from above her head.
Celeste Grant froze, clutching his clothes and looking up at him. Just then, he looked down, staring at her with a sinister gaze.
"Well, if you’re willing, it’s not entirely out of the question."
A bloody glint flashed in Javier Sinclair’s eyes as a dark aura erupted from his body.
"You’re asking to die."
The moment he spoke, Celeste Grant felt a chill run from her toes to the top of her head.
Celeste Grant took a step back and looked at him obediently.
"No, no, I don’t want to die."
"Big Bro... no, The Exalted One... actually, we can have it both ways. It doesn’t affect anything if I call you ’bro’ and our son calls you ’dad’." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Celeste Grant had to admire herself.
’How could I not control this mouth of mine? How did I dare say something like that?’
Javier Sinclair looked at her, his face a cold mask.
Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind. It was him, holding her by the waist, gently biting her shoulder. Her hands were wrapped around his shoulders as she whispered "brother" in his ear.
"Brother... be gentle with me."
The great Demonic Sovereign’s perpetually cold face cracked on the spot.
He was petrified.
’W-what was that?’
’That scene that just appeared in my mind... it was with this woman.’
Javier Sinclair grabbed her arm and stumbled back two steps, a hint of panic in his eyes.
’Did I really... with this woman...’
’...do something so outrageous?’
He turned away slightly.
"Shameless. All this hugging and clutching is improper."
Celeste Grant just said, "Oh."
"Then I’ll stop hugging you."
Seeing his ’don’t-touch-me’ expression, Celeste Grant put on a look of understanding and added another comment.
"The Exalted One, rest assured, I have absolutely no designs on you. I’m not that kind of person. When I see you, my mind becomes completely pure, free of all distracting thoughts. A moment ago, I was just purely happy and grateful to you."
Javier Sinclair’s gaze shifted to her, and he sneered. "Your mind becomes completely pure when you see me?"
’The implication being that I’m not man enough to give her any ideas?’
He turned and walked toward her.
Javier Sinclair reached out and lightly clasped her slender neck.
"Such a slender neck. One little twist and it would be gone."
Celeste Grant’s hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.
’This bastard. He shouldn’t say such terrifying things for no reason.’
’He’s fixated on my neck again.’
At that moment, Javier Sinclair’s gaze swept over her shoulder.
It seemed he was once again reminded of that indecent scene.
He retracted his hand.
He turned away.
Celeste Grant touched her own neck with her fingers.
’This man... why is he acting so strange?’
’Why do I feel like his fingers just caressed me?’
’It must be my imagination.’
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Javier Sinclair glanced at her.
"Put that flower on your head away. It’s blinding me."
Celeste Grant touched the little red flower on her head.
"How do I put it away? I don’t know how."
She pointed to her head. "The Exalted One, what kind of Spirit Root is this? Water Element or Wood Element?"
Javier Sinclair said flatly, "A Mutated Water Spirit Root and a Wood Spirit Root."
Celeste Grant froze, then said, "Huh? So you’re saying I’ve awakened two Spirit Roots?"
